It’s hard to formulate thoughts on this one right now. An important read.
Sharing a massive trigger warning for the last chapter, which examines the church’s failure to prevent, respond to, and protect sexual victimization of children and women in the church. Even working extensively (8+ years, heavily focused on trauma and primarily on childhood sexual abuse) with this subject, this chapter was triggering and overwhelming to me. And one point I had to just put it away for a while. Take good care, especially if you have sexual trauma with or without religious trauma.
